About Steel Fabrication

Steel Fabrication

Fabrication is the process of cutting, bending and assembling the material that is used to create products. Steel is used in the manufacture of a wide range of products from furniture to hospital equipment, plumbing, and automobiles. Steel is fabricated to create parts of machinery or automobiles or cut into different shapes for the manufacture of appliances and furniture.

The three major processes of steel fabrication are cutting, joining and bending. Steel is cut using different techniques and tools. Head shears and snips are some of the commonly used manual tools to cut steel. Shears that are powered by electricity are also used for the cutting of steel. Joining or fusing is the next important part of steel fabrication; to form large and complex parts small panels are fused together. The common method used to fuse steel is welding. The basic tools that are required to bend steel are a hammer and a shaping dolly. Steel is bent over an edge or shape. Metal brakes are also used to bend steel in order to get precise bends.

Some of the best-known locations in UAE to find companies that manufacture and supply steel fabricated products are Al Quoz 2 in Dubai, Al Sajja Industrial main road in Sharjah and Mussafah in Abu Dhabi.
